At Stanley Marie, LLC, I manage the financial and operational aspects of a single family office, including finance, accounting, and tax reporting. I provide monthly reporting and review potential real estate and private equity investments.

At Chiyoda International Corporation, I oversaw finance and accounting for North American projects and served as the primary finance contact to the Japanese parent company. I also worked on transfer pricing policies, tax provisions, and ASC 606 revenue recognition.

At United Safety, Inc, I held financial responsibility for Western Hemisphere operations and led a team of finance, accounting, and project analysis professionals. I also worked with Country Controllers to improve internal controls, processes, and reporting using Microsoft Great Plains.

Earlier, as Controller at DKRW Energy/Advanced Fuels LLC, I supported project development and financing through modeling, contract negotiation, and debt placement. My background includes a Master of Business Administration from Babson College – F.W. Olin Graduate School of Business and a Bachelor of Business Administration in Accounting from Texas State University.
